1970 Volkswagen Beetle 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

My son's 70 Beetle dies (runs out of gas) while going up hill after the vehicle has been drivin for at least 5 plus miles or when fully warmed up. Once it is rolled off the hill it will restart and run normally. The fuel tank screen has been checked and I have checked to see if the floats were getting hung up, but it still continues to die on hills. Fuel pump has not been replace or checked.
